'The Great Food Truck Race'

For the third season of this fun mobile-food competition series, eight teams of food-truck newbies (including teams from Columbus, Ohio, and Wasilla, Alaska) hit the road in pursuit of $50,000 and the keys to their "dream food truck." Tyler Florence returns as host. Teams, fire up those ovens and start your engines. 10 p.m. Sunday on Food (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
